Standing on my deck

One minute walk

End of the day.

The home of the stig. Not whole lot happening around here, but I am up for moderatorship on those EA forums I'm always talking about :)

In other news, Had tornado warnings here today. There was a severe thinderstorm (with rotation!) about 15 miles away with the core headed straight at me at 30 mph. As such I spent a couple hours in the basement with my 3 dogs and two cats, otherwise alone. It was interesting

Anyway, the storm amounted too some rain and a bit of thunfer, nothing near the 60 mph wind, nickel size hail, and tornadoes that were talked about....whew.

Blogger needs emoticons...I just realised that.

That's where Stig spent his weekend.

Not too bad, even though it was a work weekend. Went up Staturday and began scraping paint, then I was given the job of picking up sticks and throwing them in a fire, which is nice! Staurday afternoon I went too a snowmobile club meeting/cookout and a good time was had. Got back from that and went kayaking on the pond you see above, got all the way too the other side when a somebody fishing said that he saw lightning. After a top speed run in the kayak too get back we put them away and then it started pouring rain.
Sunday - Old home days. Snowmobile club had a booth. We sold, basicly, crap that nobody wanted. All proceeds went too the town fire department. We got rid of just about everything, everything that wasn't sold ent too the salvation army. Don't know the money total. It was perfect weather that day, which got me too spend a fiver on the 50/50 raffle, I lost. Oh well. On the upside, I got myself and Superman puzzle from 1966 that's in prestine condition for free, can you say Ebay?
